Last Postal Collection Times, Cambridge UK

This page gives last collection times for post from many postboxes in Cambridge, and also details of various other locations of interest.

This section lists last collection times for post from various postboxes in Cambridge. The list is intended to be comprehensive, but many more entries are required. The contents are as described in the introduction to this section. List entries are sorted by the second, purely numerical, part of the letter box number - these are unique for the Cambridge city area. For places around Cambridge but outside the city, see the East Anglia list. Any corrections, updates and additions are welcome - see my contact details.

For quick reference, the last collection in Cambridge is from the Sorting Office at Clifton Road (letter box no. 197), with another late collection from Great Court, Grafton Centre (letter box no. 153) and several other postboxes in the same area. Despite its position, the last collection from Cambridge Post Office (St. Andrew's Street) is considerably earlier than from other postboxes in the same area.
